Little things may betray mans lack
of good breeding, or prove that he has
been well instructed in the code of polite
ness, observes the Buffalo Commercial Ad-
yertiser. Table Talk has noted the fact
that few men appear to know that if theyare
compelled to crowd by ladies in the thea
tire. or any public place, it is the height
of rudeness to turn their backs on them.
This feature in the code of politeness is
often ignored by those who are most par
ticular in the parlor if they
pass in front of a woman ten feet away,
to say, ''excuse me J" What
does that all mean, any way.
and of what old form of etiquette is it a
survivalp Again, one will see young men
who claim to be polite-and who try to
be-meet young women on the street, stop
them, converse while, and then go on,
leaving them to 60 their way. A woman
who submits 20 this rudeness is to be sure
greenhorn herself. If a gentleman
meets lady on the street and wishes to
converse with her he will of course turn
and join her, walking with her as far IS
he has inclination to do so. Then, too,
young man. if you are calling on lady,
and having finished your call, rise. wish
the young lady good morning or evening,
as the case may be-and then leave
Don't stand and keep on saying, ''well,
must go now. guess" and edge off to
the front hall expecting your friend to fol-
low; for if she knows what is what, she
will formally bow you out of the parlor
and you to get out of the house the best
way YOU can. Others, instead OF being
deficient in politeness. develop lack OF
familiarity with the code by being super
fuously politely saying, BEG your
pardon, Thanks" Don't mention it,
AFTER you, Excuse me-" etc.. etc, in a
series of endless repetition, and with
scarcely any warrant. And in this ramb
ling essay on politeness we note also that
often when men try to be polite to a
lady they annoy her and are really impo-
lite by making her the subject of too much
notice. For instance, in church the
other day, in a pew made to hold five per-
sons easily. were one woman, at the end
of the pew, and then three men. Soon a
modest little woman comes up and seeks
entrance to the pew. Had the first man
moved up, and the other men followed ex-
ample, the woman could have quietly and
comfortably taken seat at the head of
the pew. But no, to be "polite" the first
man rises, picks up his hat and files out
into the isle the second man followed suit;
the third-husband of the woman next to
him at the end of the pew-had to wait
tor him to pick up his silk hat and UNI
brella, then he flies out to permit the
woman in the aisle to come in and sit next
to woman she never saw land to be about
as uncomfortably fixed as she could be in
that one pew. OF course divine service
was disturbed; for every person felt
called upon to watch and see if that wom-
an was well seated, and the three men all
got back again in good order. Don't be
tussy and demonstrative in trying to be
polite, for then you show that you are not
we'll bred.

ALONE IN HER GLORY.
SUSANNA Nj SALTER,
THE ONLY FEMALE MAYOR IN THE UNIT
ED STATES.

Argonia, Kansas. is the only town in
America which ever elected a woman to
the office of Mayor. She is alone in dis
tinction that represents another step in
the steady advance of liberal ideas regard
ing woman'a work in society.
Mayor Salter's maiden name was Su
sauna Madola kinsey She was born of
parents who were members # the Society
| of Friends, on a farm near Lamira, Bel
mont County, Ohio. in the year 1860. In
| 1872, when she was twelve years old. she
removed with her parents to farm
twelve miles west of Topeka, Kansas,
which progressive state has consequently
more property in her than in any other
commonwealth. She was a married wom-
an when, about four years ago, she and
her husband removed to Argonia. In
| 1873 and 1879 she attended the Kansas
State Industrial College, Manhattan,
where Louis A. Salter. son of a Lieuten-
ant Governor of the State, to whom she
was married in 1880, was fellow student.
Owing to poor health Miss kinsey did not
! graduate. but left college In the early
part OF 1880. When, in 1888, her fathers
family removed to Argonia, she and her
husband went with them. The place was a
settlement of Quakers, and its first Mayor
was Oliver Kinsey, her respected father.
After enduring considerable hardship Mrs.
Salter and her husband began to prosper
in business. From an early date in her
time of residence at Argonia, its present
chief magistrate was a busy woman in
public matters She and her helpmeet
were prominent in organizing a Baptist
church, and to her is largely due the
origin of a fiourIshinc branch OF the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. Her
husband is a lawyer and has real estate
business. The couple have four children.

is about six years old,

day fixed for them to choose their Mayor,

of the w. c. T. U. was called. at which
a candidate for Mayor and five councilmen
were named. Early on election day
morning an anti Prohibitionist, thinking it
joke, ordered some tickets to be printed
with the five councilmen on it as named
at the women's meeting, but substituting
Mrs. Salter's name for that of their can
didate for Mayor. Her friends having
procured her consent to serve if elected.
set to work and accomplished what had
been proposed as an ill-natured joke.
The Anti Prohibitionist and his allies, to
use homely saying, were made to laugh
on the other side Of their mouth. Argo-
mia elected female Mayor, who is at the
head of an efficient administration, but one
hardly as progressive as she desires it to

be. Her anxiety for local improvements
is checked by the parismony of her coun-
cilmen. Mrs. Salter's salary is one dollar
a wear. The Mayor OF Argonia is about
five feet three and a half inches in height.
She is thin and of an active temperament.
Her eyes are gray. and her crlmped nair
of blonde shade. The cares OF once
have induced her to engage the services

LIES JOURNEY.

As we speed out of youths sunny station
The track seems 10 shine in the light,
But 1t suddenly shoots over chasms
Or sinks into tunnels of night.
And the hearts that were brave in the morning
Are filed with repfnfng and fears
AZ hey pause at the city of sorrow
Or pass through the valley of tears.
But the road of this perilous journey
The hand Of the Master has made;
With all Its discomforts and dangers,
e need not be sad or afraid.
Paths leading from light into darkness,
Ways plunging from gloom to despair,
Wind out thro' the tunnels of midnight
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Tho the rocks and the shadows surround as,
Tho we catch not one CLEAN OF the day
b0ve US, fair cities are laughing
And dipping white feet in some bay.
And always, eternal, forever,
Down over the hills in he west,
The last final end of our journey,
There lies the great station OF rest.
IT'S the grand central point of all railways.
All roads centre here when they end
lis the final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
III tickets, all mile books, all passes,
II stolen. or begged for, or bought
On whatever road or division,
VIII bring you at last to this spot.
II you pause at the city of trouble
Or wait 10 the valley Of Tears,
Be patient, the train will move onward
AND rush down the track OF the years.
" hateyer the place 10 you seek for,
Whatever your aim or your quest,
You shall come at the last with rejoicing
To the beautiful city of rest.
You shall store all your baggage Of worries,
You shall feel perfect peace in this realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair waters,
With JOY and delight at the helm.
You shall wander in cool, fragrant gardens
With those who have loved you the best,
nd the homes that were lost in llfe's Journey
You shall lind in the city of rest.
